u/AmeteurOpinions [+4] Finally, everyone was working together. (8 hours later)
I'm noticing a distinct lack of Undersiders.
u/flame7926 [+1] The Lone Power (10 hours later)
Seconded. Also Faultline's Crew, the Wards, New Wave
u/bbrazil [+2] NERV (46 minutes later)
I think you're missing the "allow users to assign their own flair" option on the "edit flair" page.
u/None [+2] (52 minutes later)
Oooookaaaaaay. EDIT: Ah, that's the tick box for letting you guys select flair.
u/bbrazil [+1] NERV (56 minutes later)
Seems to be all working now, thanks.
u/PeridexisErrant [+1] put aside fear for courage, and death for life (an hour later)
Ah, now I can edit my own...
u/Zephyr1011 [+2] Potentially Unfriendly Aspiring Divinity (2 hours later)
"Aspiring to be God"?
u/None [+3] (2 hours later)
Now tagged as, "Potentially Unfriendly Aspiring Divinity".
u/Zephyr1011 [+1] Potentially Unfriendly Aspiring Divinity (a day later)
Why thank you
u/traverseda [+2] With dread but cautious optimism (12 hours later)
I really want something like "Culture: With dread but cautious optimism". Is there any reason why you're not just opening the whole thing up? It worlds alright for us over at /r/3Dprinting.
u/None [+1] (20 hours later)
Let me figure out the setting for that.
EDIT: There is now a "Custom Flair" template you can edit yourself.
u/traverseda [+1] With dread but cautious optimism (23 hours later)
Yay!
u/PeridexisErrant [+1] put aside fear for courage, and death for life (43 minutes later)
I'll take as flair "also collaborates with the Hesper". ;)
u/None [+1] (50 minutes later)
Isn't that thinking a bit highly of yourself? You don't meet the Bright Morningstar every day.
u/PeridexisErrant [+1] put aside fear for courage, and death for life (an hour later)
Is there anyone so wretched that they don't?
u/None [+1] (an hour later)
I meant in full material manifestation, not, you know, concealed in normal life forms like most of the Bright Powers always are 99.999999% of the time.
u/PeridexisErrant [+2] put aside fear for courage, and death for life (an hour later)
That is a little less common, even for those who serve... but it doesn't have to be flashy to count.
u/None [+1] (3 hours later)
[removed]
u/None [+2] (3 hours later)
Adding a bunch based on Neal Stephenson and Vernor Vinge now.
u/BT_Uytya [+1] The Laundry (4 hours later)
Damn, they are good.
What about something Baroque Cycle-related, like "Royal Society"? (Also, we surely should have something related to Scott Bakker, the man who can talk about cognitive psychology in language of Tolkienesque high fantasy)
u/None [+3] (22 hours later)
I'd be hesitant to use Royal Society (even though I really appreciated Quicksilver) on account of it being a real thing. But that's just me.
For the people who liked Anathem, here are some potential flairs to use:
- Concent of Saunt Muncoster
- Concent of Saunt Edhar
- Ringing Vale
- Concent of Saunt Rambalf
- Concent of Saunt Baritoe
- Procian
- Halikaarnian
- Rhetor
- Incanters
- Lorite
I wouldn't recommend these all being added to the default options. To its own idiosyncrasies (mostly the con-langs) Anathem provides a lot of stuff to identify with.
For the Snow Crash people:
- Cosa Nostra Pizza
- Mr. Lee Greater Hong Kong
- Neuro-linguistic Hacker
- Kourier
u/SohumB [+2] Procian (a day later)
Oh man, I would wear a Procian flair so hard. Lorite, too.
[Edit] I have shamed my math, for not noticing the practical benefits of the editable text box.
u/None [+1] (4 hours later)
That would mean I have to go and read more Neal Stephenson books. This is enjoyable, but extremely time-consuming.
Mind, plenty of those factions I got off TVTropes. So huh.
u/Empiricist_or_not [+1] Aspiring polite Hegemonizing swarm (4 hours later)
We have the culture but, "aspiring hegemonizing swarm" or "aspiring smatter outbreak" might be appropriate for those who want to be Transcendence
u/alexeyr [+1] Steersman (18 hours later)
There are the City Watch and the Guild of Assasins, but where is The Unseen University?
u/None [+1] (20 hours later)
Because UU are fat, happy, and unambitious ;-).
Nah, I'll go add them.
u/Riddle-Tom_Riddle [+1] (21 hours later)
I don't know if there's anything that can be done with that though.
For now I'll just make do with the .5 seconds to let the mousover show up.. on every.. single.. one..
shrug
u/lehyde [+1] Nudist Beach (a day later)
That's because of your long username ;)
u/DeliaEris [+1] Fully General Idealist (5 days later)
I'm not sure this is a good idea. Allowing arbitrary text helps, though.
